Custom Timber Frame Design: Tropical Hotel

Every Vermont Timber Works frame is custom. That means, as the client, you get to plan the shape of your frame, and decide on the wood species, the timber texture, the joinery style, and the truss design. Some of the design decisions are more complex than others and Derek and Sue, our sales reps, are skilled at working with clients throughout the entire process. This series of posts is going to cover, on a high level, design decisions that were made for 6 different custom timber frames. Check out more Custom Timber Frame Design posts here! This week’s post is for a tropical hotel in Belize.

The completed frame has hammer beam trusses made out of santa maria timber that are planed smooth.

This timber is absolutely beautiful! It is also amazing to see all the different things it can be used for. I also find it incredible that it can be shaped into so many different thing. Timber definitely seems like a cool material to work with.
